Background: Cell-assisted lipotransfer involves enrichment of autologous fat with
supraphysiologic numbers of adipose-derived stem cells to improve graft take. Adipose …

Background: Stem cells have proven to be beneficial to fat graft survival, but a one-step
method of cell-assisted lipotransfer is still missing. In the present work, the authors improved …

Introduction Autologous fat grafting is commonly used to correct soft-tissue contour
deformities. However, results are impaired by a variable and unpredictable resorption rate …

Grafted fat has many attributes of an ideal filler, but the results, like those of any procedure,
are technique dependent. Fat grafting remains shrouded in the stigma of variable results …

Fat grafting is a common reconstructive and aesthetic procedure with extensive clinical
applications. Recently, significant strides have been made in investigating the biology …

Background Autologous fat grafting has rapidly become an important treatment for soft tissue
defects in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. However, consensus is lacking on the ideal …

Our objective was to explore the mechanism of cell-assisted adipose transplantation by
using freshly isolated human stromal vascular fraction (SVF) cells and to observe the …

Background The main challenge with fat grafting is loss of some of the graft to postsurgery
resorption. Previous studies suggest that adipose-derived stromal cells (ASCs) can improve …

Background The success of an autologous fat graft depends in part on its total stromal
vascular fraction (SVF) and adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs). However, variations in the …

Background: Fat grafting is a popular soft-tissue filler method; however, its results are
variable and technique-dependent. Macrophages are present in fat grafts and closely …
